One of rugby union’s great cliches is that if Fiji were as good in defence and discipline as in attack, they could be one of the best in the world.
Byrne has managed to balance their fast-paced and offload filled attack with an improved and more accurate defence and Scotland face a tough test at Murrayfield this Saturday. Not to mention only a year ago they beat both England and Australia at the World Cup.
Several of Scotland’s highest-profile players are unavailable for the clash, such as Blair Kinghorn, Ben White, and Finn Russell, due to the match falling outside the Test window.
While not drastically weakened, their absence represents a chance for the visitors to take a famous scalp in Murrayfield.

Scotland v Fiji key player to watch
Iosefo Masi (Fiji)

Scotland v Fiji prediction
Fiji are no longer pushovers, not that they ever were, but the modern side are as formidable as anyone on their day and when both attack and defence is firing they are scary.
That said, Gregor Townsend’s side should have the wherewithal to make home advantage count enough to control Fiji’s creativity.
Prediction: SCOTLAND WIN
